Abstract

With the growth of nuclear families, there have been major changes in the average land ownership pattern; the agricultural land is divided into small, sometimes unsuitable for cultivation. Over the past few decades, the Sikar region has seen a major change in its cultivation pattern. 82.5 percent of the state's net cultivated land in 2015-16 had more than one plantation, compared to 34.4 percent in 1976-77. Average crop use across the region is 145%. However, depending on the availability of water resources and groundwater in the block, there is a deviation in the environment.
